Chapter 7, Undoer of Knots, is finished. A week later than planned, because I got lazy.

Words OpenOffice didn't know:
Krav Maga
interdimensional
fucko
Telepaths (still! I was sure I added it after last time)
hellbound

[Read from the beginning]

PS merci beaucoup to Eve Tushnet for the big pimpin'.

No, we don't know that much about her. She's a secondary character, so I can't say we'll get to know her inside and out. I'd definitely do more with her if she were going to be the major romantic interest--I'd manoeuvre her into the same city, at least.

She's there for several purposes, one of which is to be a foil for Paul, exposing Joel's conflicting feelings about sex, love, and friendship. Since they don't have a sexual relationship, I feel like we know enough about her: she's attractive, assertive, intelligent, and she's known Joel for a number of years, which explains both why he's attracted to her and why he feels out of control in the relationship. We don't see her from inside because I wanted to preserve his feeling of discomfort, of not knowing exactly where he stands.

Hope that clarifies things somewhat.
